Brindisi, from La traviata: piano notes with letters

The sheet music as written, with each note's letter under it

Every note below has its letter under it, sharps and flats as the score spells them, so you can find each key. Use the letters to get started, then leave them behind: a letter names the key, but the note on the staff also tells you how long to hold it, which hand plays it and where the tune goes next, at a glance. Play it with the letters once or twice, then drill its 21 notes on the staff and print the page without them.
